A forum motivated by the MISTA conference series

Category Archives: In Memory

As we approach MISTA 2013 two of MISTA’s greatest supporters have sadly passed away.

Peter Brucker (24th July 2013) has been on both the Program Committee and has served on the International Advisory since MISTA started in 2003. He has also published widely in MISTA, and its special issues. This is a list of his MISTA contributions:

Brucker, P The Job-Shop Problem: Old and New Challenges. In proceedings of the 3rd Multidisciplinary International Conference on Scheduling : Theory and Applications (MISTA 2007), 28 -31 August 2007, Paris, France, pages 15-22, 2007.

Arne had interests in meta-heuristic, combinatorial optimisation; with a particular focus on transportation. He was well respected in those communities, with a publication record that underpins that well deserved respect. The community will miss his scientific contributions, as well as his many other contributions.

On behalf of the MISTA community the Conference Chairs would like to express our gratitude to the many contributions that both Peter and Arne made to our community. Both will remain in our thoughts, especially during MISTA 2013, which is so close the passing of these two colleagues.
